BASE-BURNING STOVE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

goro- To all whom it ma/y concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT` BATTING, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented a new `and useful Improvement in Base-Burning Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othe .skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, 'forming part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a verticalvsection Of my. improved stove, taken through the line :c x, iig. 2.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional taken through the line y y, iig. l.

Figure 3 is` a detail sectional View of the same, taken through the line z z, fig. 1.

Similar letters Of reference indicate corresponding part-s.

` My invention has for its object to furnish an irnproved baseburning stoveor heater, which shall be so constructed and arranged as to furnish a greater amount of heat from lthe same or a. less quantity of fuel than is possible with stoves constructed in the Ordinary manner;l and It consists' in the construction and combination of various parts of the stove, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the body of the stove, which is made urnshaped, and may be polygonal or circular in its crossview Of the same,

section, as may be desired.

A In the side walls of the upper part of the body A are formed openings, in'whch are placed plateszof isinglass, to allow the light of the iire to shine through.

In the front of the upper part of the 'body A is formedadoor, a', through which fuel may be introduced when required.

In the lower pait of the body A is formed the firechamber B, the tire-brick O of Awhich is made to c orrespond with and iit upon the sidewalls of the lower part Of the body A, as shownin iig. 1.

D is the ash-pit and draught-chamber, formed vin the lower part of the body A, above-the base of the stove, and which i s separated from the fire-chamber B by the fire-grateE.

F is a pipe,` which passes down through the centre of the fire-chamber B, through the grate E, .through the ash-pit` D, and the lower-end Oi' which opens into the base G, as shown in iig. l.

The part ofthe pipe Fth'at passes through the fireehamber'B should be surrounded with rebrick H.

lIn the upper part of the pipe F are formed openings, through which the heated products of combustion pass into the pipe F, through which they pass to the base G. Y v,

The base is provided with a curved partition, I, extending from the rear part of the base G almost toits front part, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, so that the ,said products of combustion must circulate .all around said base before'theycan escape into the exit-due J, through which they pass to the chimney.

which is' vpasses The reservoir K is surrounded with an Outer casing,

L, continuons with the walls ofthe body Agthe space between said casing L and said reservoir K opening into the combustion-chamber.

M is an exit-pipe, connected with the space 'be--A tween the reservoir K and casing L, and with 'the exit-pipe J, through which the products of combustion are allowed to pass when a direct draught is required.

The pipe M 'is provided with a damper, N, -sothat the' products of combustion may be' allowed to pass,

or maybe prevented from passing through'the said pipe, as may be desired. y

The bottom O Of the reservoir formed through it, through which the coal may be allowed to pass to the hre-chamber.

P is a plate,'the centre Of which centre of the bottom O, and which has openings formed through it correspondinglwith the` openings through the bottom O, so that by partially revolving the plate P the coal may be allowed to pass into the fire-chamber, or may be prevented from passing into it, as may be desired.

The plate P is moved to adjust its position as required by a lever, or handle, Q, attached to it, and passing out through the wall of the reservoir K, and through the casing L, as shownin figs. 1 and 3.

To the upper end of the pipe F, which is directly beneath the discharge-openings of the reservoir K,fis attached a cap, R, which is convex upon its upper side, to receive the coal as it falls from the reservoir,

and distribute it evenly through the hre-chamber.

By this construction the side walls of the stove will be heated directly from the fire, instead of being heated by the heatedproducts of combustion, and will thus become hotter, and will consequently radiate more heat into the room.

Another advantage is, that the base of the stove will be more thoroughly heated by the downward central passage of the products of combustion, and will thus radiate more heat through the lower part of the I'OOm.

Another advantage which this stove has over other The combination of the convex cap R with the up-A per end of the pipe F, to distribute thecoal as it from the reservoir K, substantially asherein shown and described. ROBERT, BATTIN G. Witnesses:
